  Personal Success
  
• 2. What is it that makes people successful? The financial newspaper Investors Business Daily (IBD) asked these same questions a few years ago and started a multi-year search for the answer. They studied industry leaders, investors and entrepreneurs to understand the traits they all had
  in common that contributed to their success. Here is their list of 10 Secrets to Success :
  
• 3. Secret # 1 : How You Think is Everything.
  This trait has to be one of the most important in the entire list. Your belief that you can accomplish your goals has to be unwavering. The moment you say to yourself “I can’t…”, then you won’t. I was always given the advice “never say I can’t” and I’d like to strike those words from the dictionary. Positive things happen to positive people.
  
• 4. Always be positive. Think
  Success, not Failure. Beware
  of a negative environment.
  
• 5. Secret # 2 : Decide upon Your True Dreams and Goals.
  You may have heard the old adage: A New Years resolution that isn’t written down is just a dream, and dreams are not goals. Goals are those concrete, measurable stepping stones of achievement that track your progress towards your dreams. What are your goals?
  
• 6. Write down your specific
  goals and develop a plan
  to reach them.
  
• 7. Secret # 3 : Take Action.
  Be like Nike and “Just do it”. I took action by reaching out and started doing presentations. Every day I try to take some action towards my goals. It may be small, but it’s still an action. Have you taken action towards your goals?
  
• 8. Goals are nothing without action.
  
• 9. Secret # 4 : Never Stop Learning.
  Becoming a life long learner would benefit us all and is something we should instill in our kids. It’s funny that once you’re out of school you realize how enjoyable learning can be. What have you learned today?
  
• 10. Go back to school or read books. Get training & acquire skills.
  
• 11. Secret # 5 : Be Persistent and Work Hard.
  I think every story of success I read entails long hard hours of work. There is no getting around this and there is no free lunch. But, if you’re working towards something that you’re passionate about, something you love – then is it really work?
  
• 12. Success is a marathon, not
  a sprint. Never give up.
  
• 13. Secret # 6 : Learn to Analyze Details.
  I think you have to strike a balance between getting all the facts and making a decision with incomplete data – both are traits of successful people. Spend time gathering details, but don’t catch ‘analysis paralysis’.
  
• 14. Get all the facts, all the input.
  Learn from your mistakes.
  
• 15. Secret # 7 : Focus Your Time And Money.
  Remain laser focused on your goals and surround yourself with positive people that believe in you. Don’t be distracted by the naysayer’s or tasks that are not helping you achieve your goals.
  
• 16. Don’t let other people or
  things distract you.
  
• 17. Secret # 8 : Don’t Be Afraid To Innovate.
  You need to examine for yourself whether you should do it or do it differently, because you are unique!!! Are you looking for an answer to "What makes me special and unique?"  Follow through on that break-out idea you have. Ask yourself “What would I do if I wasn’t afraid?”
  
• 18. Be different. Following
  the herd is a sure way
  to mediocrity.
  
• 19. Secret # 9 : Deal And Communicate With People Effectively.
  Successful people develop and nurture a network and they only do that by treating people openly, fairly and many times firmly. There is nothing wrong about being firm – just don’t cross the a-hole line. How do you deal with people?
  
• 20. No person is an island. Learn to understand and motivate others.
  
• 21. Secret # 10 : Be Honest And Dependable.
  Every day, when you get up, you can be honest and dependable by developing a sincere positive
   motivation: tell yourself to utilize this day in a more positive way. Try to treat every person you meet like an old friend, and that gives you a real sensation of happiness. Take responsibility to do what you love!!!
  
• 22. Take responsibility, otherwise
  numbers 1 – 9 won’t matter.
  
• 23. Take your time in reading them. Inwardly digest them. Chew on them. Be challenged by
  them. Don’t discard them, but simply ask yourself ‘what are the secret I have just learned’
  once you have read them. Read them more than once.  I hope you take these not-so-
  secret, secrets to heart and realize your dreams – whatever they may be.
  
• 24. "When you know your own value, you are unstoppable! When you realize who you are and realize your own self worth, everything in life will come to you! Live to your fullest potential, never let anyone bring you down, and fight hard to get everything you want!"
  Thank You Very Much
